Football Wide Receiver or Corner Back? - Page 2

Chiefs=Champions · 09-17-2009, 03:23 AM

Which position would you rather play and which should I play?

So I’m playing seniors gridiron here in Australia this year. This is the highest level in Australia (which regrettably is not very good at all) and its basically open to 19 years and up. This will be my first year as a senior and I have a choice of which position I play.. In the past I have played more QB than anything but with an already established player at that position I have to choose to play CB or WR. At the moment there are quite a few WRs on the depth chart and I am already behind in regards to practice and learning the playbook, on account of injury. Furthermore there is far less depth at the corner position and if I was to play there I would play almost immediately. However I would much rather play receiver and that it really a much more natural position for me (IMHO).

So Chiefsplanet ballers and coaches what are some of the aspects and positives of each postion and which should i pick?

Hmm perhaps it comes down to personnel preference... Why do you like corner so much?

It is about personal preference. If you are ok with working up the depth chart go WR. If you go corner your always going to have the itch to run the ball which might result in going for interceptions when you should just knock the ball down and you could get burned for it.

If you have a choice always go with what you want to do and from what you have stated here, it seems to be WR.

I like WR because you get to dictate the action (i.e. running the route) instead of just reacting like the corner does. I like the deception that goes into running a good pass route. But if I wasn't extremely sure I couldn't win out a starting spot at WR, I'd probably go for corner so I'd get to play.

Yer im leaning toward WR for all those reasons... I think i can in time so i may go with WR and see wat happens...

I think you should go WR. It's obvious that's what you REALLY want to do, so you're just gonna have to deal with the consequences of fighting through a lot of competition, and work EXTRA hard to get the ball in your hands!

I'd rather hit than be hit... but that's just me... I can be a pussy.

Well, if you have back issues, I'm not sure how you're gonna do either frankly. Think I'd stick w/backup QB. Unless you're Deion Sanders-like and can pick off any pass in your area.

Go for what you love, man. WR.

Its getting better so i dont think itll be that big of a problem... I see what your saying though. I wish i could be QB! But they play a more traditonal offense, and im more of a scrambler from the QB postion, so i prob wont fit...

My hips are ok, not great though... If im to play corner i would rely mostly on my speed, reading of the play ability and physicallity.. Could i get by with these traits IYO ?

That makes the decision easy. If you're 6'3", you absolutely should play receiver. Not a lot of 6'3"+ corners out there.
